The air bag light has come on now just about to go for a retest tried the tec 2 telling me its the squib behind the steering,
any know the price of these, is it a diy job or a garage job thanks.

I have replaced many clock-springs, but never in Omega. Usually special tool is needed, which is about $20

Dont neeed one of those.It justs makes it a bit easier.
If you need the whole airbag unit ? I would imagine they are very expensive.On the other habd,a second hand one might not be 100% relibale if you need it. I have a second hand one if thats a route your considering.

Thats the "Contacter"

Squib is the pyro part.



OP - what was the code, and was it "PRESENT"?

[TheBoy]

Although, in case of High Resistence Drivers Squib, I'd change the contacter.

Sounds obvious but make sure you disconnect the battery and leave it for 5 mins before messing about with the airbag connections

Indeed. Its the only advice we can give.

I should learn to practice what I preach
